The Longest Mile - the Steps Between the Woodshed and the Woodbox

I roll this on to the porch and load it from a trailer every 3rd day.
I also keep a 1/3 cord in a rack on the porch for inclimate weather.
Works pretty well for us.

Good ideas here. I keep my wood stacked near the house. Right now the woodstove is backup till it gets really cold.

This is my solution......

I can run the wheelbarrel up the the backside and load the shed and get the wood from the porch.

Iv been pretty lazy this year. I put a big row on front deck and a row about 22 feet long 4 feet high along side the house on lane way. Havnt touched the wood back behind my shed yet. But this is working good as its a real muddy winter and the clay wont take any more water. Just wish it would freeze.

Very very wet autumn and winter here too so my London clay soil is waterlogged. I have little choice but to cross the lawn regularly to fetch wood but it's doing damage. I'm using an old pram to bring 3-4 days worth from the stack exchange time but the wheels are leaving ruts. Perhaps I should go more often for less wood, dunno.

I recently purchased a canvas tote to try. It is much easier than the daily armload method I was using. I don't split as small as in the picture, but it will still carry ~10 of my splits at a time.
Now, I just have to change my routine when I get home, to include going in to get the tote before carrying in wood.

Thanks for posting this - and glad you like it. This is close to what I (the O/P) currently am using, but I think they should make this with a nice padded over the shoulder length pair of handles. I like ones with more of a bag shape because it keeps the dirt in, but this one will be quicker to load.

That's what I was thinking myself.
Then reading your post I thought, man that would be a giant man bag .

I’m still kicking myself for ditching the old basement window when I rebuilt my cracking basement walls with new block. A year later I started heating my house with a wood furnace and that opening would’ve been right next to my wood furnace! Luckily I have a Bilco door with removable steps 20 feet away to dump gator loads into. Makes the “last mile” problem feasible in late night undies reloads. My wife is still not impressed.
